Why Use a System to Manage Performance?

Consistent Service Quality: Whatever industry we're in, we all provide some sort of service to our customer or client; and the quality of that service is always determined by the performance of people. If we are to have any control over that "service" we must be able to manage the performance of people. Since the key to quality is consistency, how can we produce consistent quality with an unpredictable resource, i.e. people? The answer is to systematize the management of people, because systems can be predictable.

Critical Resource, A Competitive Advantage: In today's economy, the only competitive advantage an organization really has is the quality of its people and their performance. All the other resources such as technology, land, materials, etc., can be bought!

For many organizations the cost of the human resource can be as much as 80% of expenses. And for most organizations, these costs are one of the last areas for significant productivity improvement. We can't leave the management of this critical resource to chance. In particular, depending on the specifics of your balance sheet, for every 1% increase in people productivity, there can be a corresponding increase in profits of 10% to 20% and more! Imagine, then, the financial impact of improving the effectiveness and productivity of your workforce through The Mansis System's more systematic performance management. As a least case scenario, what would an increase in productivity of only 1% mean to your organization?

Pace of Change: The pace of change is accelerating everywhere: in society, in industry and government, and within organizations. Gone are the days when we could simply hire good people, leave them alone and expect that the job would get done. Organizational life has become too complex for that, and the stakes are too high. If organizations aren't properly organized to lead and manage the performance of their members, they will never survive the pace of change.

(2) empowered workforce

The use of The Mansis System creates an empowered workforce because:

• everyone can take charge of his/her own training and performance,
• direction is more relevant and personal,
• the organization's and the employees' belief or value systems can become more explicit and motivating,
• employees take more ownership of their own performance results and record.

With The Mansis System the relevant details of job direction can be directly accessible to any employee, and not filtered through levels of bureaucracy or obstructed through interpersonal communication breakdowns. Employees are empowered by their access to the information they need to be successful.

(3) tool for implementing change

The Mansis System supplies the critical core processes which must be in place for any organization to implement change successfully. With The Mansis System you can monitor individual and group progress in a change initiative, coach organizational members to resolve the problems which accompany change, ensure accountability for change responsibilities and review / document the resulting progress.

The Mansis System can be an organization's platform for implementing any new initiative including: continuous learning and continuous improvement, leadership training, coaching, empowerment, team-based decision making, re-engineering, ISO 9000, TQM, Service Excellence and strategic plans. This may sound incredible, but you'll see how the System becomes an organization's central processor to translate any intention into reality.

(4) predictable, consistent management practices

The Mansis System makes the way people are managed systematic (and therefore more predictable and consistent) and less dependent upon the goodwill or capabilities of individual managers. The procedures, techniques and the fundamental way people are led and managed become tangible and consistent, i.e. a system which can be taught, monitored and continuously improved. Managers may come and go, but the system remains as an organizational asset and a competitive advantage.

The Mansis System systematizes what's too important to be left to chance, i.e. the direction and information employees receive; how well employees perform; their performance history, and; how employees interact and service clients.

(5) equitable treatment of employees

Because "the way people are managed" is systematic and consistent (and enforceable), a genuine sense of equity increases in the organization. This commonly leads to: improved motivation; decreases in grievances; increased productivity; consistent and constructive discipline, and; lower incidents of wrongful dismissal.

(6) follow-through and accountability

The processes in The Mansis System dramatically improve the likelihood that assignments get completed, and that goals and deadlines are met. Clarity in direction, fair treatment and recognition for personal achievement enhance a sense of accountability. This in turn: reduces stress and frustration; increases morale; saves time and money, and; helps ensure organizational progress,  i.e. no more lost momentum!

(7) easier performance appraisals

There's no more procrastination to do employee performance appraisals (called performance reviews in The Mansis System). The review process measures both performance results (what has been accomplished) and behavior (how the job was done). Performance Reviews become easier, more valid, more meaningful and timely. Performance reviews are no longer unwanted surprises.

As a result, properly used, The Mansis System can reduce the fear of wrongful dismissal; save considerable time and money; ensure equitable treatment of all, and; encourage proactive resolution of problems rather than procrastination and tolerance of incompetence.
